Year of the Snake

 (snake) 2013 is the year of the snake. Sometimes the snake is referred to as "the little dragon" because it comes after the year of the dragon and both are reptiles.Snake years are sixth in the Chinese animal zodiac cycle, and recurs every twelfth year. Chinese New Year does not fall on a specific date, so you can't rely on the year you were born alone to determine your zodiac animal. You should check a calendar which asks for the month and date as well for a more accurate determination of what zodiac animal you are. These two sites I found were pretty accurate with my sign: Zodiac and Chinese Astrology Calculator

Years of the snake are: 1905,1917,1929,1941,1953,1965,1977,1989,2001, 2013

To give an example as to why it is important to check the date of when each year begins is my own animal zodiac. For instance, I am a dog though my year, 1995, indicates a boar in.  The reason why I am a dog though is because my birthday was within the 15 days of Chinese New Year. I am technically half dog half boar because I was right on that transition day. 

Though not entirely accurate, here are some things about a typical "snake" person. According to ancient wisdom, a snake in the household is a good because it means the family will not starve. Some people interpret this as the snake will give up things to feed his/her family or that the snake is good with money to be able to buy food. Snakes are seen as wise, intelligent, good business people, and good with money. 
  • logical and rational
  • quiet
  • complex 
  • sometimes egoistic and greedy
They are well known for their intuitive nature, adding mysteriousness to the character of a snake person. There are all different types of snakes varying in color and pattern. This variety tends to lead snake people to love to appreciate beauty and have exceptional tastes.

This year the element of the snake is water. Water snakes are influential and insightful. They are very good in an organizational setting and can manage others well. They are motivated for success and want to be rewarded for their efforts. They are affectionate with their family and friends, but private and come off as cold towards fellow workers in a professional setting.

Overall Summary of the Snake for 2013
The snake can read complicated situations with a clear mind. Business will be good, but important documents will require lots of attention to detail. This year will be advantageous to do important work with detail. Look for new ways to do things with the clever mind of the snake. A new ambition to achieve greatness will inspire you to be all you can be, and provide you with the motivation to achieve goals.
 

But for the year 2013, the snake needs to watch for over-commitments. Snakes tend to be greedy people, but somewhat vain and spend more money than they have. This can cause tension in the a relationship. Create a safe working environment for this year. In order to utilize the snake's analytic abilities, it needs to feel safe and protected before securing its goals. The path to the goals of a snake are slow, but will most likely be achieved and accomplished.
